But yeah. Liberals got complacent and didn't get how long the long game was for movement conservatives. And how detailed. And how vicious. Some bought into supply side economics (me guilty in believing a lecture in University) like the Clintons who came up with the third way. Some undid the fairness doctrine and banking regulations.

More people will stop using their rational minds to vote if we don't hang all the pain around MAGA where it belongs.
